I
love Art! I especially love how it can command a room, or add the finishing
touch that a room need in order to feel complete. I also am intrigued by
art and artist's influence on today’s interiors designers. I have seen the
wonderful new home of Michael Smith and I wondered where he gets his
inspiration? I think I see a bit of Cy Twombly resonating through! I know form
Miles Redd Lecture that he is influenced by Cy Twombly's home in Rome, and I
wonder if Mr. Smith also felt inspired by the same space when designing his new
abode.
Cy
Twombly was a diverse artist. His work ranged from abstract expressionism to
brief minimalism. Born in 1928, Lexington Virginia, He eventually in 1957 took
up permanent residency in Southern Italy. His wonderful home has been the
subject of many an article and blog! I think Miles Redd said it best when he
stated about Cy Twombly's home in Rome, that the duality of the classical and
modern hugely influenced contemporary taste! Cy Twombly sadly passed away a
year this month from cancer. I wonder now was Cy Twombly a man ahead of his
time or are we starting to appreciate the balance and use of classical objects
mixed with modern art as was the case in the 1950's European interiors. I will
let you be the judge as I present some of my favorite art by Cy Twombly and
some rooms that I feel have definitely been inspired by his genius!
